:T :T Frogga and Kyle. See, I knew there was a positive vibe this month.

I've also lost 2lb this week. July is going to be a success, I can feel it.

Off camping now for the weekend (in the rain - heyho) so good luck to all those still to weigh in. We're gonna do it girls.:D

Morning all! congratulations to all loosers.. i'm ignoring weigh-in today, am aiming to lose by next week - i've been feeling rough all week and today have gave in and admited it, i've took the day off as I'VE GOT A BAD COLD I fully intend to feed the cold, so today may be a bit higher than my normal 1311 calories! (and last night I ate a 2 finger Kit Kat. Me Bad). I've got the gutsys today!!

Today:
B: 1 slice toast with 5 bits of OH's tinned ravioli
S: no idea
L: Quorn stirfry, perhaps
no idea - driving to OH's parents tonight at around 7, wil get in at 10. SOmething en-route or toast?

I must surely loose weight by next week, the sheer amount of mucus coming from my nose and throat suggests i'm at least a stone lighter than last week (sorry, too much info?)

Love you all x

Morning everyone *waving* Well done to all you lovely losers, how clever are you lot?

STS for me this week which is brilliant seeing as Aunt Flo finally arrived at 5am this morning - she woke me up by poking a big stick in areas she really shouldn't even know about - so am knackered and grumpy and I just want to go back to bed with a hot water bottle *grumbling*. However to STS and NOT bloat is brilliant and so I am not unhappy about that at all.

Have a great day and can we all do a bit of a sunshine dance please - I HAVE to get the gardens done this weekend (as the grass in the back MAY be nearly 4ft tall, I couldn't possibly say ) - so I need no rain, fank ewe very much

Have a great Friday everyone, take care of your lovely selves xx

Thanks to everyone for welcoming me back. My thanks button is playing up, it logs me out. Any ideas why? Its nice to see so many familiar names but bobbadog tinned ravioli for breakfast and mucus too gross.

Feel very pleased with myself that I had a whole week off and then managed to pull myself together and get back on. Normally if I fall off the wagon , I'm off for weeks and then it takes a really long time to muster up the effort to start again. This time I didn't fall off the wagon, I simply paused, then pressed play again. that's a reall breakthrough for me.

That's really good frogga. Hopefully that's the start of a new food relationship for you Brilliant on the loss too - you'll be skinny in no time

Well done to all those that have lost or stayed the same. Welcome to all the newbies and returnies

I'm in a much better mood today by the way - hayfever drugs have made such a difference (I was taking the over the counter ones but they just didn't have enough ooomph!)

So food today:

soaked oats with raisins, sliced banana and maple syrup coz it's friday!

Lunch is ham cheese and pickle roll.

Snacks are malt loaf and rice cakes

Tea is sausage casserole (cauldron sossies with lentils, tinned butterbeans, and some veg I bunged in the casserole this morning and passata poured over).

Hi All,

Well done to all the losers. I have a 1lb loss to report too and although past experience suggests it is over optimistic am going for a 5lb loss for my July challenge. I am now 10 st 9lbs and have lost 13lbs so hopefully will have lost my first stone by next week.

I have been reading but not posting over the past week which seems to have been rather busy. I had a great time in Stratford at the weekend but overate. Since then I've been busy with one thing and another and have also knitted my second scarecrow! Goodness knows what I shall do with this one - the first was for OH's grandson but I have no home for this. I have really got the knitting bug now and have started a knitted dolly with clothes that come off. I may give that to the baby upstairs who might be moving out next month. I've also done my first buying on ebay and bought a Jean Greenhowe knitting pattern pamphlet of the whole scarecrow family. I have really got the bug now!!

I haven't had any extra long walks this week as my dog walking friend has been on holiday but have managed over 5,000 steps of walking most days.

Have a good weekend everyone and good luck to anyone still to weigh in.

Food for today

B: Muesli with skimmed milk and raisins. Cranberry juice.
L: HM wrap with chicken and avocado. Side salad. Strawberries.
Not sure yet but something light like a boiled egg as OH is working.

Hello everyone and welcome back Kika! Huge :T to Frogga, Kyle, OGITH, Rosewood for great losses and :T to Nix for a STS in TOTM week!

Bobbadog - hope you start to feel better soon.

Cranky - hope your withdrawal eases off today. I gave up caffeine two years ago and remember it well! I had problems with stomach acid and had the camera down and switched to decaff coffee, which made the acid worse - apparantly it is to do with how they actually extract the caffeine and it can cause or make worse stomach acid. I got put on Lanzoprazole which I take only intermittently now and I find that if I don't overeat or eat carp then my acid is fine, but the moment I binge then it comes back big time.

OGITH - have a great camping trip!

Went to Matalan this morning to get shoes for DD1 - they had some really lovely clothes - alas not in my size, but hopefully, if I stick with it by Christmas I should be able to get something!

Only had breakfast so far - had a banana and an apple was was late (as usual) taking DD1 to Southport to school.

It is lovely and sunny here so washing is on the line.

Mrs M - hope you are doing okay, also Cheerfulness - hope your DS is okay.

Right,off to help a small child build a LEGO tower.Good thing you can't here the 'Muuuuummmmy' being whined down the stairs:rolleyes2 Now,where are those earplugs??:D

Hi again

Can't sit still today, despite the cold, have done some sewing (no idea how OH gets holes in everything!), done 2 lots of washing, made a huge batch of carrot and coriander soup and have some of Nigella's Snickerdoodle biscuits in the oven (cinnamon and nutmeg things) to take up to OH's parents tonight (if they're edible, i'm rubbish at sweet baking!) - fingers crossed.

Am hungry, but can't work out what i want to eat whilst the house smells of cinnamon biscuits, so will wait another half hour. My urge for a quorn stirfry is quite low, what I really want is a cheese and pickle sandwhich!!! Damnit.

Hope you're all having good days x

PS: Rose Wood - my mum knitted the whole family of Scarecrows, I loved them so much! She made my Grandparents ones that looked like them - my Grandad was a fruiterer and his one had a little basket of mushrooms and stuff, very cute x
